Talking Tamiya Nissan R-35 GTR..... RED.....

Tamiya kit with their own P/E set and a few details from Hobby Design also.

Paint is Tamiya TS-49 bright red over light grey primer.
The lower blackouts, grille area and bonnet scoops were done using pearl clear over black, to give a nice in-scale metallic effect.

Interior has been tidied up and had flocking added since the pics were taken...... now it can barely be seen once finished. Hobby Design's resin open door conversion would be a worthwhile addition if you plan to detail the interior... I didn't even bother adding seatbelts because you would barely notice them.

I just noticed when uploading the pics that the "T" is now missing from the rear GTR badge. I will replace it, along with the side GTR's with the Hobby Design P/E parts.

















Regards, Dan

Very nice! That red looks great over the gray primer - looks very natural. Good choice.

Thanks Kev but......................Errr... No I haven't.
Its not a decal, its a single sided photo etched emblem..... it doesn't have any Nissan lettering on it.

Very very nice, I think red is one of the best colours on the new R35. Excellent work!

The wheels and intake come satin plated in the box..... one advantage of the Tamiya kit over the Fujimi and Aoshima.
